Feeling portraiture at the moment, I never really had appreciated contemporary portraiture till I paid attention (rather than sub consciously Art blocked as I often do due to the nature of full time art school immersion). Peter Stichburys smooth use of paint and play's on over exaggerated/under exaggerated facial features is something special. They speak to me of the fine line between our perceived beauty and reality. Painting really is a true communication of life's subtlety when executed with such grace as Stichbury.
This work by Andrew Barns-Graham really makes me gaaahhgaalooo crazy. Plum lips, Cascading blonde curls and independence shining through her eyes.
Her soulful quirk has been keeping me hooked lately. I love her mix of intriguing vocal techniques and sincere, provoking yet strangely soothing lyrics.
Plus I am just in love with the styling of "Settle Down"; The nostalgic visual reference's and an airy creep induced by the use of innocent adolescent girls in the role of a pained wife. It's so nice to see a video that pays attention to narrative elements whilst still achieving up beat and fun movement.
Cant wait to see more from this Talented soulstress!
